I have been a member for a few years now with mostly a positive experience overall. However, my biggest negative is when it comes to adding a beneficiary to my account in the case of my passing they don't make it easy to find I think I came across it once in my also 5 yrs with M1 and that was a Google search I don't think you can do it from the app and I think you have to submit something physical either way it's not very streamlined or user friendly for such an important thing.

They limit which stocks you can buy into, there is a wait-list for a savings account, and they just cancelled their credit card for all users and didn't inform anyone until after it was locked. I made purchases and was charged nonpayment fees by the supplier since my card was not working, only to learn they canceled the cards several days later. Overall not happy with their system.

I'll be leaving M1 Finance. I've been with the app for several years now, and I've loved it, although I just discovered I've been being charged a monthly fee that I don't remember being made aware of. It's a shame, because I love the structure of the app, but it's ridiculous to throw a random fee into the mix when 15 others app offer the same exact services.
